"When ambition for greatness consumes you, you become a caricature of yourself, a puffed-up ego that innocent eyes can see through; true dignity arises from simplicity and presence, not from titles or power."
According to Osho, when ambition for greatness and power grips you, you become a comic, smelly fabrication—'shit mixed with sand'—a puffed-up ego that innocent eyes can see through. Such striving degrades intelligence, steals innocence, and makes you a caricature of yourself. Real dignity arises from simplicity and presence, not from titles or power.
If you chase being important and powerful, you just turn into a silly, smelly ego; being simple and present is the real greatness.
